Benefits of technology

The invention is a sealing system for RVs and other vehicles that can be used to seal storage compartments. The system includes a frame and a ring-shaped seal that can be attached to the frame using a removable strip with adhesive. The seal can be attached to the vehicle using the removable strip and the adhesive. The sealing system can be used with various types of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, trailers, and airplanes. The sealing system provides a seal that circumscribes the opening of the compartment, preventing water, dirt, and debris from entering. The sealing system is easy to install and can be used in a variety of vehicles.

Problems solved by technology

There are times, however, where water or dust will breach the seal and contaminate the contents of a storage compartment.
Furthermore, some seals require an RV owner to apply large amounts of force to close the door over the storage compartment forcing some RV owners to slam the compartment door hoping the door will latch properly or use their hips or knees to apply the proper force.
However, this, at times, leads to denting or damaging of the doors.
